The Avett Brothers: Murder in the City [Video]

Scott and Seth Avett [photo by Crackerfarm]I kept wondering when the Avett Brothers and Crackerfarm were going to team up for another video.  I wonder no more.  On Tuesday Paste got the exclusive first broadcast of the new Avett Brothers’ video for “Murder in the City” from the band’s latest six-song EP The Second Gleam.  Here it is.  I Gleam.

This is the second time I’ve featured this song on MUSE and in both instances it’s hard for me not to mention my own brother.  It’s a ying-yang, Castor and Pollux kind of thing.

“I wonder which brother is better / Which one our parents love the most / I sure did get in lots of trouble / They seemed to let the other go / A tear fell from my father’s eyes / I wondered what my dad would say / He said I love you and I’m proud of you both / In so many different ways”.

“Always remember there was nothing worth sharing / Like the love that let us share our name”.  [video for “Murder in the City” after the break]

    Beautiful video. Love the light filtering through, love the close-up shots that bring those freckles to life. Simple, yet moving. And by the way, I also love ALL the brothers mentioned in this writeup. :)
